NWSB Editor Bryant Knox brings us his weekly video recap of the Portland Trail Blazers. In Week 8, the team from the Pacific Northwest went 2-1, taking down the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New Orleans Pelicans, while falling to the Minnesota Timberwolves. LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard led the way as usual against Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving, but Kevin Love proved to be too much on the road.

Bryant Knox previews the Portland Trail Blazers March 2 matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Portland is coming off of a tough loss to the Denver Nugets on Wednesday that went down to the last second. If Portland can take care of business early against the Wolves, last-second heroics won’t be necessary. The key matchup is going to be between the two big men in the middle, J.J. Hickson and Nikola Pekovic. LaMarcus Aldridge may also see some time against Minnesota’s center.

NWSB Insider and Portland Trail Blazers blogger Jon Irwin, in collaboration with Timberpups.com blogger John Flesta, previews the Minnesota-Portland matchup.
